Is it possible to unlock a Virgin Lobster phone and if so, how much would it cost? I have a Nokia phone on the vodaphone network and that would cost £20, but that can only be done by Vodaphone

    if you have spent £30 on one virgin sim, then they will send you the code free of charge.

    if you havent you could always ask a family /friends to o it for you.

    If you've topped up more than £30, they give you the code for free. I think you misunderstood.

    lol hey guys

    firstly paul, i did say "spent" not spend lol.

    secondly I dont think your intention was to appear or sound rude but the use of a question mark would have helped after the word immediately :p

    anyway yes call virgin mobile on 0845 6000 789 (open 24 hours - go through to any option, i dont think it really matters) and say you would like to request a unlock code they should ask you for your number, name and password, they will then pop the request into the system.

    As the lobster tv is an exclusive handset to virgin they should have the codes in-house, they do say to wait 7 days for the unlock code in the post but call back in 24 hours or so and they should be on your account ... just ask the operator to have a look :p

    hope this helps
